The two youths continued to embrace, feeling each other's warmth as their heartbeats grew louder.
Maybe it was the inexperience and the strange connection they had, but they slowly brought their faces closer to each other's as they felt the warm breath of the person in front of them.
Erika could feel her heart wanting to escape her chest as she slowly closed her eyes and let her body do all the work.
Ren stood with a red face, his hands shaking and a confused expression because he honestly didn't know what he was doing, though seeing the girl's expression, he slowly placed his lips on hers.
Erika's body trembled, though she quickly relaxed and let everything take its course.
Ren accepted this as approval of his move, so he quickly grabbed the girl by the waist and pressed her against his body.
Erika wrapped her hands around Ren's neck as she adjusted herself as best she could. Her heart couldn't contain the emotion she felt, it was strange, spontaneous and crazy, she, a simple slave was kissing a royalty, it was as if she was the protagonist of a fairy tale for girls.
Without both of them noticing it because they were sunk in this strange passion, two wings of light came out of the girl's back while a strange circle with hundreds of runes appeared behind Ren.

"Let's better change the subject" - Elisabeth said while crossing her arms - "What's your plan?"
"Actually, I'm not sure" - replied Rhea while frowning - "Since I came here, I realized that many of my strategies were useless because of the small changes which means that my opponents are now not programmed entities, but rather living beings with intelligence and instincts..."
"Oh, I understand you, I once tried to negotiate with Ben, and he ended up kicking me out when I showed him the Eros medal" - Elisabeth said while shaking her head.
"Oh, that's nothing, during my first adventures during the tutorial mission, I almost died because one of the crimson wolves sniffed me when I was setting the trap..." - Rea said while touching her hand, which was still bandaged - "That hadn't happened in the game, in fact, that wolf's perception level was in negative because it was the first event..."
"My condolences..." - Elisabeth said while shaking her head - "You still don't answer my question though."
"I want to activate the [Heir to the throne] route." - Rhea answered seriously.
Elisabeth frowned when she heard this, not because the route was difficult to complete, but because of the consequences of reaching the end.
The route [Heir to the Throne], was one of the sub-routes of Ren D. Bahamut's campaign, which could only be activated if Erika was on Ren's team, and activated her hidden power, the so-called [Belldandy's Blessing] which was activated when the hearts of the two heroes synchronized by falling in love, although this was easy to do because the affinity level between Ren and Erika was almost 100 points thanks to the connection between their ancestors. Leaving the first steps that were simple, what followed now was that Ren managed to create Neo Bahamuth without losing any of his relatives, after that, the player would have to advise Ren to make contact with at least 3 heroines and help them, making the affinity between them increase, which would cause those heroines to get in the middle of Ren and Erika, now came the final part, depending on the decisions, Ren would have one or more wives, and depending on whom the queens are, each ending will be different.
In the [Heir: Cassandra] ending that would be when Ren marries only Erika, the two end up sealing the final boss, and have a daughter together. This route ends with a [DLC], called [The Revenge], which consists of the release of the final boss that ends up killing Ren and with Cassandra killing the fallen god for good.
In the ending of [Heir: Richard], Ren ends up married to Anabeth after he helped her with the destruction of the empire that was kidnapping her people to turn them into slaves. The two end up with a son, who is cursed by the fallen god, with no choice, Ren sacrifices his life to free his son, who takes his mantle as the next hero. The path ends with the [DLC], [Blessing of the Forest], which tells the story of Richard until he manages to put an end to the fallen god with his friends.
At the end of [Heir: Clementine], Ren ends up married to Fiora, after Erika is killed by the servants of the final boss. In his despair at losing his beloved, Ren ends up using his knowledge to revive her, although to do so, he needs a sacrifice. Fiora agrees to help him because she could not see her beloved like this, which ends with Erika taking possession of Fiora's body. Upon discovering what had happened, Erika goes into dismay, so she decides to break the spell and returns to the afterlife. Ren ends up breaking and commits suicide, what he didn't know, is that during a moment of drunkenness, he had ended up impregnating Fiora. The route ends with a DLC that narrates Clementine's life since she was in her mother's womb, until she takes control of Neo Bahamut as queen, this being the last bastion against the final boss.
There are a few more [Heirs] routes with extra heroines, though they all end with Ren dead in one way or another. Now that she thought about it, there were only two routes where Ren survives. The first was the [Heir: Lilith] route, which consisted of Ren failing to resist the temptation of Morgan, one of the sorceresses under the fallen god, which causes him to kill all the women who loved him before dying in his battle against the fallen god, though not before killing him as well. In the [DLC: Infernal Love], you can see the story of Ren being revived by Morgan and fighting to take control of Pandemonium.
Finally, the last route was [Heirs: Clan], this is the most difficult route because it needed a certain combination of decisions, as well as an affinity of 100 points with Erika, Fiora, Anabeth, Morgan, the player, and at least two or more extra heroines. The route can only be activated after the fall of the empire and with the death of Leo, and consisted of Ren not being able to choose, Ren decides to take a journey to understand his confused feelings, during this journey, Ren manages to find the tomb of his ancestor, who teaches him his most powerful technique, as well as how to sort out his feelings. This route ends with Ren returning and uniting all his allies to make a final attack against the final boss, which ends in victory and with the death of the fallen god. Ren ends up marrying all the girls and brings the world into a new era of peace, so you could say this is the hidden ending of the game.
"I thought you were going to the [A New Tomorrow] route?" - Elisabeth said as she frowned.
"I don't want to live in a world where there are sequels, I prefer ultimate peace" - replied Rhea while shaking her head - "Besides, on that route I can't end up with Ren-kun."
Elisabeth gave her a blank look because it was obvious that that reason was the most important one, and now that she thought about it well, there were few routes where the player could get Ren's heart, a strange thing coming from a game that was a mix of tactical RPG and a dating simulator.
"Not to mention that I hate Leo, that bastard doesn't deserve to be a hero with everything he's done" - Rea snorted while her eyes flashed with viciousness.
The truth is that Leo was a villain type protagonist, he wasn't necessarily evil, it's just that his moves were cruel and being a beastman, his urges were much greater, which translated to hundreds of scenes that not many players would like to experience, this was why Leo was the least popular hero, as well as the target of hundreds of complaints from players.
It was obvious that Ren was the protagonist of the story despite the other heroes that were present, which is why people could not understand why Leo existed, a character that was basically the contrast of the protagonist.
Many players theorized that the creators of the game did it this way to show in greater detail how cruel a fantasy world can be, others deduced that it was to show Ren as a better character compared to the other main male hero.
Well, whatever the case, there was something that the two people who came from another dimension understood, and that was that Leo was their enemy by being in Ren's path, which meant that they would have to take their decisions well, unless they wanted to become the new sex slaves of the young beastmen emperor.
